At 9.53am yesterday morning things were looking bleak at Hilton Church! The band was concluding its rehearsal, the church was full waiting for the service to begin, and I was at the sound desk wondering what to do next! The computor wouldn't boot up, so there were no words on the screens for the songs. I also had a video presentation about Open Doors to show as part of the service. I was just on the verge of digging out the old hymn books when Iain Ross appeared to save the day. Thank you Iain. Technology is great, but over the years I have had my fair share of stress when glitches have occurred.
Last night we had a Taize service. Short meditative songs, scripture readings, times of quiet for reflection, the lighting of candles as prayers for others and communion. It was just what I needed.
A day of contrasts. The hectic hurly burly of a morning service and the quiet peace of an evening service.
